DO NOT duplicate the field. Make it appearing in a single table and if you
need it, associated to data from a second table, use a JOIN to retrieve it.


Sure, I assume your just refer to the field. There are cases where you may
need, indeed, to update a field (such as getting a new inventory, so the
quantities may have to be updated, or for archiving purposes), but in
general, the idea is to write the data JUST ONCE, so it minimizes the
possibilities of error (of any kind) and use JOIN to associate it with other
records from other tables.
